What are the chances Kyle Orton touches Free Agency?

That there is a list of all the possible Free-Agent QB's after this season.

It's a pretty decent list of players, however, I don't envision many of them making it to Free Agency.

One, I could see making it is Kyle Orton.

One thing I think we all agree on is that we need some veteran leadership at the QB position next year.

None of want to go into next season with the whole year hinging on the ability of a rookie QB or a 2 year pro.

With The Golden Calf of Bristol there in Denver, Denver could be willing to part with Orton, especially if he wants a decent chunk of change.

There have also been some murmurs of McCoy returning to Coach here next year, although it doesn't seem incredibly likely, which would provide a connection between the 2.

So, how likely is it Orton slips into FA?

If he does, should we throw the house at him trying to convince him to sign here?

trading for a start-worthy QB would be far too costly, imo. better off drafting one.

there are some positions i want to trade for that make a lot of sense, but QB isn't one of them.

FA class sucks for QBs so don't look there. only thing we can hope for as far as vet QB is an old one with a lot of PT who will be a good set of eyes on the sidelines and who can mentor the young guy.

But we need Andrew Luck. LOL seriously, I think one young QB to develop is enough we need a VET QB that can teach Clausen something and trade down if we are picking 1st to someone who is desperate for a franchise QB. I mean you look around the league and as always about a half dozen teams could use a upgrade at QB.

1. Minnesota - Mr. T Jackson really the guy?

2. San Fran - Is the Alex Smith experiment over? How good is Troy Smith?

3. Seattle - Is Charlie "TD Jesus" Whitehurst the answer?

4. Jacksonville - If LA comes calling is David G. gonna put butts in the seats?

5. Washington - McNabb is pretty damn good but how many years does he have left?

Will any of these teams be willing to leapfrog the Bengals, Cardinals or yes Buffalo (who is still proclaiming Fitzpatrick as the answer) to get the top prize of the draft?

I will say this now if the new coaching staff fall in love with Luck they will not bother to acquire a top FA QB. It's simple economics you don't pay a number 1 QB to sit on the bench or pay for a decent FA vet to hold a clipboard and mentor. So all the Lady Luck people need to realize they can not have it both ways.

I can almost guarantee you we sign a veteran out of FA this offseason. Nobody within the organization will likely want to go into next season with the same youth at the QB position that we had this season, and with the increasing possibility that Luck doesnt come out, I could really see us making a move via trade to bring in a proven commodity this offseason. even if we decide to go the FA route, I think the FO will want someone proven, even if Luck is here. I don't think the asking price on a guy like Orton will be incredibly high, and we do have some trade bait.

      I think Bryce balls out again and the Panthers win in a close one.  Panthers will have a defender shadow CMC the whole game so I expect he'll be contained to under 100 yards.

      89 on The Pivot

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too).   also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight.   And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks.  I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Sadly, I agree and I’m a huge Melo fan. Might be time to ship him out. Don’t want to make the same mistakes the Pels did. They should’ve gotten rid of Zion two years ago.
